11.  Isilme’s Crafty Tuesday

Today I did a pile of ironing and then rewarded myself with doing a bit of crafting. I made a card using a brown background I'd made. I'd been using every colour of ink except the brown because it didn't seem to behave like the others - it seemed thicker. 

Well, when I came to use it, it separated on the card and actually looked very good. Being watercolour paper, it had a texture to it and it looked a bit coffee-ish. So I looked around for some coffee themed stickers I bought eons ago. 

I'd not used them at all before, so it was a bit of a shock when the stiff sticker turned out to be something like sticky-backed tissue paper backed with acetate. It was so thin it threatened to stick to itself and mess up completely. I'm amazed I managed to (almost) centre it on the scalloped circle! 

In the end I was very pleased with the result. There is space below the circle to put Happy Birthday if I want to, or I might use it as a note card. We'll see.

I also made another little paper house. I've made a few recently. Really it's a Christmassy thing - you make a little village, or put them on a wreath or garland, or hang them from the tree. But I just had a bit of fun.

Sparkly red house:

Little houses:

10. Short addition to the housekeeping

I’d written that bit you saw earlier:

“This is precisely what the issue is … sidetracked down slip roads, such that the important things are let slip … things are lost in what is perceived as oh so vital that day … without seeing what has been lost overall, what has been planned that we lose? 

But it does make me mentally think we don’t have all that many years left … we must decide what’s important in priority order and hope we get it right.”

If that sounds blather … just received a text from the energy provider, asking me to text them now so they can check if I’m paying over or under what I should.

You wot?

As I was posting Isilme, a girl in my second life had an issue which had to be addressed right now, plus I’d said 1030 for this post … also because the “shopper” is packing my food right now and wants to know some things … and that’s only because I was able to get the order in by 0900:

Now that does not look to me like a quiet, retired life, rocking in my rocking chair. I’m sure it’s similar for you … pace has picked up and if it hasn’t, they make it so by arranging probs and giving tasks you don’t even need.

At some stage, you must say no … get in line. Trouble is … with close people, we can’t do that … if we want them to stay close. And that includes N.O. readers, inc. droppers.

Tuesday [4 to 8]

(0900 on the dot) Morning all … total Gates bleah out there, coupled with April acid rain. Tomorrow, Wed => won’t be able to blog much past 0730, had a trial run just now, more in Housekeeping below. Blowing a storm out there, window just blew open, door rattling on its hinges. (0934)

8.  Housekeeping

As concisely as I can … in this trial run today with the incoming, esp. downstairs, brek half done etc. … it’s as clear as day I’ll have to stop all blogging of my own tomorrow at 7.30 a.m., Wed, no later. There’s an important (for me) series of decisions being made tomorrow, involving me resisting medical pressure, they mooted them on the phone yesterday, I need to be in a good frame of mind and body, plus extra care as they’ll be ladies … ironed shirt etc. I see blogging resuming here around midday tomorrow.

Clicking through your comments will continue till about 9.30 a.m.

(Just for interest’s sake, I find the early morn blogging goes in two waves … mainly MftWC, DAD, gathering roundup items, doing X and Gab, emailing etc. … then a brek break … then the second wave of IYE etc., which you see starting now today. I just can’t go any faster than that, readers, and still think straight, plus the platform and ipad start playing up as they are now. More on time usage in general later in the day.)

7.  Early roundup

Some craft coming up in the next post, from Isilme.

16.  Thx again to Digger for the backlinks

This I’ve run a few times … it’s from the long book of mine, near the end.  In the story, I went with the idea of Wills being the anti-C … that he doesn’t know it until his near death accident. Wills’s real accident was in childhood but I made it adulthood for the novel.

Here, the main things leading to the last days are over, have happened then I suddenly switch to reality from my digging in the early 2000s. The text was incorporated and posted in March, 2017. Even 2017 was some time back and subsequent events only support rather than undermine the contentions … particularly now the heifer has been supposedly found.

Here’s the relevant section of the story from Ch 3:18:

Said Hugh, ‘Nikki heard something quite worrying at the last food delivery although it might not have fully registered with her. They’re halfway through rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem but they’re building it in the wrong place according to scholars. We were involved with trying to stop a certain Prince who is also involved. If he gets to Jerusalem in any official capacity, it’s curtains for the world I’d say. I’d say now is the time for our last hurrah with SSF.’

Frank suggested, ‘Chapter and verse Hugh … please, about this end of the world thing.’

‘All right. Rebuilding the Temple of Solomon involved razing to the ground the usurping golden ‘Dome of the Rock’ and Al-Aqsa Mosque. All Jews know and many others do too that since Bar Kochba’s revolt in A.D. 135, Judaism has asserted that only the Messiah is capable of rebuilding the Temple. So they’ve been waiting for a Messiah who could rebuild it.

The ‘Christian’ Right in America, actually in the hands of the enemy, started to call for measures to allow Israel to fulfil its destiny, which, together with the Jewish lobby in the U.S., influenced congress to produce a feasibility study, beginning with the joint administration of the Haram esh-Sharif site, something the Muslims were set against.

Dr. Ernest L. Martin said that the Jewish Temples never were built on the present “Temple Mount” but were actually located a fourth of a mile south over Gihon Spring. Josephus, Eleazar and Jesus himself all seem to indicate that no sign of the Second Temple would remain. Also, descriptions of Haram esh-Sharif seemed to indicate that the current mooted site was, in fact, Fort Antonia.

Early Church Fathers and pilgrims spoke of a large rock outcropping as the Praetorium. Archaeologists have confirmed that the original City of David was built on the southeastern ridge of Jerusalem. Ancient Jewish law required that a live spring be located within the Temple for ritual purification, Davidic ‘living water’.

Aristeas viewed the Temple in about 285BC and stated quite categorically that the Temple was located over an inexhaustible spring that welled up within the interior part of the Temple.

Tacitus, in about AD105, stated that ‘the Temple at Jerusalem had within its precincts a natural spring of water.’ No natural springs have ever been found within the Haram esh-Sharif.

Sir Charles Warren examined all beneath the Haram, and found no archaeological remains identified with the Second Temple.

‘You’re right into this, aren’t you? Go on, it’s interesting.’

‘Well, as Jay Gary pointed out, in The Temple Time Bomb, in 2001, ‘If the Temple never was located at the supposed Temple Mount then a major obstacle dividing Israelis and Palestinians could be put to rest. He also pointed out that Dr. Martin died of a heart attack in 2002.

Now, as it’s not in the interests of the enemy to promote Arab-Israeli harmony, this story about the real location of the Temple has been largely suppressed. Therefore, while a big hue and cry about the Temple on the Mount was going on, the foundation stone of the new Temple, the real one, far smaller, in the correct place, has already been laid and foundation work is proceeding apace.

Meanwhile, the Prince, we’ve learned, has joined with the American President in permitting the cornerstone of the faux Temple to be laid – it doesn’t much matter where the Temple was built, as long as the Jews believe it is in the right place – this has caused the middle-east to erupt and it’s war.

Countries like Iran are now going hell for leather to build the nuclear device.

As for the secrets beneath the Temple Mount, whatever they are – the crucial kingmaking codes, the ark and tablets – they’re already elsewhere. So, there’s a coming conflagration over a dispute which need never have existed and that suits the book of the enemy. The Arabs see it all as the end times.’

‘And is it?’

‘Looks like it to us although there’ve been terrible times in the past when it all looked over. This does seem to fulfil the criteria though.’

‘How?’

‘Child against parent, dysfunction in all things, strange genders, mass movement of people, no one believing in God, zombie generations across the world, small pockets of resistance sought out and eliminated, rampant promiscuity as the form of ‘proper relations’, false prophets, false messiahs and so on. It’s the closest history has got where everyone’s involved in it, everyone’s lying and out for himself. Traitors everywhere.’

‘Traitors?’

‘Everywhere – within your own family, within your own marriage even. Nobody caring any more, drawn away, no values, no connection, no commitment to another human. Parallel lives under the same roof. If we can stay with our own partners, it will be a miracle.’

The real reason for prolonging the Ukrainians misery: from 'Call me Dave'

"The foreign secretary acknowledged that the "war will be lost if the allies don't step up" 
But asked whether Western nations should send troops into Ukraine, Lord Cameron replied "no". He added Nato must be in the "best possible shape" by the US elections."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68730246

And the reality from Simplicitus:

"Read my lips, it’s quite simple: Ukraine has literally no chance whatsoever to do anything militarily in this war anymore. Ukraine and Zelensky’s only shot at survival is to push Russia into a confrontation with NATO. They are desperately attempting to do this each day by launching mass terror attacks all over Russia."

"While Russia is crushing the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ combat potential on the actual battlefield, desperate Zelensky is hiring “ISIS” to massacre Russian civilians, attacking Belgorod highrises with drones and artillery,"

But at least Zelensky can choose which bolt-hole to escape to...

Review

A circus in 1950's communist Czechoslovakia makes a dash into the US zone. Being circus people, they have no ostensible political priorities, but the owner, who also dresses up as a clown (Frederic March), seems to have been pushed to take the drastic measure because the communist party functionaries led by Adolphe Menjou find his overall attitude lacking in any discernible commitment. 

March's daughter in the film is the striking Terry Moore who has fallen for a mysterious circus laborer played by Cameron Mitchell. March's wife is sexy Gloria Graham. The two of them (Moore and Graham) both add a lot. 

The film makes the distinction in this circus between the artists and the workers. The communists want a workers' paradise and seem to try to make the circus toe the line. The leader of the circus workers is played by Richard Boone, whose part has bought into the communist ideology. 

The circus midgets also play vital roles in this film, which does not waste any of its actors. The black and white photography matches the stereotypical drab lives in the communist sectors. Menjou, as the communist party leader, is onto March, but, being Menjou, he too becomes a target of operatives in his own party. 

Directed by Elia Kazan, the film is a real surprise. The overall plot to escape with the circus reaches a well drawn out ending, with even the circus elephants making the dash west.

https://joannenova.com.au/2024/02/esg-comes-undone-blackrock-jp-morgan-abandon-climate-action-100/

The biggest climate bullies on the planet just got a bit smaller. There are two monster climate banker clubs in the world, and yesterday, one of them, the “Climate Action 100+” lost three of the six largest asset management funds in the world, namely JP Morgan Chase, State Street and BlackRock.

State Street manages about $3.6 trillion in funds, JP Morgan Chase about $3 or $4 trillion, and BlackRock $10 trillion, so that’s something like $17,000 billion dollars that just left the ranch. 

The fact that this kind of money was all grouped together in a cabal of any sort is bad enough, but ponder that now, after the biggest fish have left the tank, there’s still $50 trillion left in assets on the inside.

8.  Kathy Gyngell at TCW quotes Campbell Campbell-Jack

I would argue that the collapse of faith is the product of a relentless top-down cultural revolution of the last 40 years at least, driven primarily, but not solely, by the new left to the benefit of the new techno, global elite. For the 'anywheres' as opposed to the 'somewheres'. The so-called pandemic provided the perfect opportunity for the finishing touches to this brutal post-modern serfdom project. It could not have happened without these prior decades of assault on society's basic bonds, beliefs and moral boundaries, atomising society, breaking up families, creating dependency, disrespecting faith, encouraging first 'me, me' and next woke victim identity culture and engineered distrust and resentment. Our political leaders, including so-called Conservatives, at the helm throughout.

a) The Catholic church is "going to Hell".

b) I have the same opinion as MTG regarding Cameron.

c) Inevitable !   [I'm amazed that it has taken so long - I expected it months ago as soon as the Israeli's responded to the Hamas attack.}

The National Court of Asylum (CNDA) announced this Friday that it considered that the Gaza Strip was experiencing “a situation of indiscriminate violence of exceptional intensity”, paving the way for protection of Palestinians from this region. 

By a decision of February 12, the CNDA granted asylum to a national from Khan Younès, considering that he ran “a real risk of suffering a serious threat against his life or person” due to “the “a situation of violence, resulting from the armed conflict between the Hamas forces and the Israeli armed forces likely to extend indiscriminately to civilians as well as the humanitarian situation,” indicated the CNDA in a press release.
